Originally from Switzerland, brothers Uwe and Jens Kruger were inspired at an early age by the recordings of Doc Watson, Flatt and Scruggs, Bill Monroe and other North American country, bluegrass and folk artists.

In 1995, Uwe (guitar) and Jens (banjo) teamed up with bass player Joel Landsberg, inaugurating a trio that has played professionally ever since. Together, they established an incomparable sound regarded as unpretentious, cultivated and delightfully fresh. In their ever-expanding body of work, numerous releases, performances and collaborative efforts, the Kruger Brothers powerful artistic statement inspires and enlightens audiences and musicians around the world.
